Eileen Grimshaw | Coronation Street Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Eileen as a child with her father Colin. Eileen had a happy upbringing until the age of fourteen or fifteen, when her parents began fighting. Eileen had no idea of the cause of the conflict, and when they divorced, she blamed her mother. Their relationship remained strained until her mother's death in 1992 . Eileen had Jason by Tony Stewart and Todd by a man named Duncan and raised them on her own. Eileen first appeared in 2000 when she was picked up by Vikram Desai to take her to a job interview at a chip shop, an interview she was being sent to by the job centre which she wasn't keen on getting. During the ride Eileen impressed Vikram with her excellent local knowledge (having worked for another taxi company for years) and he gave her the job on the switchboard at the newly-opened Street Cars . She took to the job quickly, impressing Vikram's partner Steve McDonald and she soon became a fixture of the company. A feisty single mum, she came from a family of eight.

She later moved into 11 Coronation Street as a tenant of Steve with her two sons, Jason and Todd. In the early days she didn't approve of Jason's aspirations to be a runner. Some years later, her son Todd came out as being gay. She now shares her house with her son Jason and long-term lodger Sean Tully . Eileen has had many failed relationships. Her promising relationship with Dennis Stringer failed when he left her for Janice Battersby . Following Jason and Candice Stowe placing her ad in a lonely hearts column she dated cleaner Harry Flagg for a while but they eventually decided to remain friends. She dated Ernest Bishop 's killer, Ed Jackson , despite the disapproval of most of the Street . It was during this relationship with Ed, a Christian, that Eileen came to the conclusion that she was agnostic. In 2007 she met Pat Stanaway who she assumed was married and had an "affair". Pat in fact turned out to be single but was dating six other women at the time. She dated takeaway owner Jerry Morton , but dumped him in 2008 after he proved to take more of an interest in his children than her.

Eileen's sworn enemy was Gail Platt and their infamous feud peaked in several brawls in the Street. The pair constantly sparred whenever they crossed paths in Weatherfield . The feud began when her son Todd moved in with Gail's daughter Sarah , Eileen believed that she was holding her son back. Todd's revelation that he was gay caused a cat fight in the Street. The two women were at loggerheads again when they both became attracted to reflexologist Phil Nail when he started working at the Rosamund Street Medical Centre , Gail was the one who eventually won his affections. Their rivalry resulted in Eileen being the prime suspect when Gail was stalked by someone claiming to be serial killer Richard Hillman in 2006 . Eileen was eventually revealed to be an innocent party, with Gail's son David being revealed as the hoaxer. Gail and Eileen became related after Sarah and Jason married in October 2007 . On Christmas Day 2006, Eileen got a surprise when a woman called Emma dropped a baby off, claiming Jason was the father. Eileen took responsibility to look after the baby, whom they called Holly because she arrived during the Christmas period.

Jason initially didn't approve of the child and tried to convince Eileen that the baby wasn't his, but Eileen disagreed and Jason eventually called Social Services in desperation. He later admitted to calling them, but admitted he had grown fond of baby Holly. However, Eileen was due for yet another shock on 9th April 2007 when Holly's mother returned, claiming that Jason's deceased employer, Charlie Stubbs , was in fact the father, after she found his picture in the paper. She claimed that when she met Charlie, he told her that his name was Jason Grimshaw. Holly's mother, Emma, asked Eileen for the baby back but Eileen refused and threw her out of the house, threatening to call the police. Social Services became involved in the situation, and a desperate Eileen decided the best thing to do was to "run away" with the baby. Eileen's arch-nemesis Gail Platt discovered her plan and talked to her, finally getting her to realise that the best place for Holly was with her real mother. A tearful Eileen handed Holly over on 25th April 2007.

On 12th December 2008, her father Colin Grimshaw arrived and met Peter Barlow in the bookies . As he placed a bet Eileen phoned him, he lied to her and told her that he was still on the bus to Weatherfield. He was known for his betting and drinking, and this led to a row between the pair when they met. Colin settled into the Street, and Eileen tried to accept his new love with Rita Sullivan . At the same time, she coincidentally reunited with old friend Paula Carp through Paula's daughter Julie . Eileen hadn't seen Paula since her friend fell pregnant at the age of 14 and left the area. Paula had told her that the father was a teacher, but to Eileen's horror, at Colin's 70th birthday party, Paula admitted that Colin was Julie's father, and that they'd had a brief relationship. Initially Eileen blamed Paula for seducing her father, but soon raged at him for taking advantage of a child and for turning her against her mother. Eileen shut Colin out of her life, but after he suffered a stroke, Eileen reluctantly allowed him to stay in her home.

The police stopped by after Paula reported him, and he died of a second stroke. In spite of Eileen's revulsion and anger towards her father, she gave the eulogy at his funeral. Eileen began dating children's entertainer Jesse Chadwick . In spite of Eileen not getting along with his family, her relationship with Jesse progressed enough to where she let him move into her home, and she put up with his annoying parrot . However, Eileen was not happy when Jesse began using her newfound sister Julie as his sidekick. He agreed to fire Julie, but continued working with her in secret. Eileen got Eddie Windass to spy on their activities and soon forced Jesse to fire Julie for real. Eileen and Jesse dated for a few more months, but when he balked at Jason and his fiancée Tina McIntyre moving back into the spare room where he kept his party supplies, Eileen responded by moving them outside. Eileen was then delighted to learn that when Jesse bet on the horses to take his mind off their conflict, he won thousands of pounds. She was even more delighted when she found travel brochures for Egypt ... only to learn that he was planning to take his parents on the trip. Eileen dumped him.

Other information Edit In 2011 Eileen discovered she was a distant relative of Elsie Tanner (who also resided at 11 Coronation Street seventeen years prior to Eileen moving in) and thus a relation to Dennis Tanner who returned to Coronation Street after a 43-year absence. Eileen briefly worked at the Rovers in 2015 , but the management let her go as she lacked experience and annoyed the customers. Quotes "I'm not most people" (First line) --- "Oh, shut up. Just shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" (To John the parrot) --- Coronation Street spoilers: Todd to sustain horrific facial injuries, reveals Sue Cleaver Coronation Street spoilers: Todd to sustain horrific facial injuries, reveals Sue Cleaver Eileen can't help but feel guilty after her son is the victim of a vicious mugging ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW By David Brown Tuesday 28 October 2014 at 12:01AM Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) is to pay a heavy price for his family's snub when he's attacked by a gang of youths and left with severe facial injuries.

Scenes to be shown on Friday 7 November, will see Todd's mum Eileen (Sue Cleaver) back out of plans to go for dinner with her son after Jason (Ryan Thomas) warns her that he'll only break her heart again. But as a downbeat Todd walks alone in a darkened side street, he's set upon and mugged and lies battered until a passer-by calls an ambulance. Later, Eileen will be seen arriving at the hospital and becoming wracked with guilt for abandoning Todd. But will he accept her apology? Actress Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen, gives us some hints as to what lies ahead: So, how’s Eileen been feeling since the big fall-out with Todd over Tyrone's loft conversion? She is so mad at him. She's just washed her hands of him - she has always given him chances before, given him the benefit of the doubt, but not this time. Do you think she’s right to have shut him out like she has? I think she's been very tolerant for so long that she has been left with no alternative. If I knew her, I’m not sure how I would advise her, and I am not sure I would do what she's done.

She has just seen red - the mist has come down and she has reached the end of her tether. Has he shown any signs of wanting to make things up with her? He does want to make things up to her, but she's heard his lies so many times before that she is really wary of his fake promises. She's frightened of believing him and letting him back in to hurt her again. Does she feel torn between the two boys? She has in the past, but at the moment Jason is the golden boy. The tables have completely turned - it was always Todd who was successful and Jason was the one who was always the underdog and got it wrong. Now Jason has got a business, is in a relationship and is sorted. And Todd almost lost him all that. So it's complete role reversal. How does Eva encourage them to sort things out? What happens? She's pleased that Eva has ensured Todd is not out on his ear, but Eileen is adamant that she's not in the mood to make herself vulnerable again. How does she feel about the prospect of having dinner with Todd? How does Jason interfere? She does finally agree, but it's Jason who reminds her of what he's done and that he's a game player.

So she's convinced into not going to the meal. How do Eileen and Jason react when they hear Todd’s been attacked? She is absolutely consumed with guilt and horror that this needn’t have happened. She said she would go for the meal and she didn’t turn up. If she had turned up, this wouldn’t have happened. It is a mother’s worst nightmare. He’s in a terrible state, he has horrific facial injuries and he is so angry. Where do they go from here? What are the chances of sorting things? After this, she is going to gather them all into the fold. Her guilt will probably result in her making bad decisions because she feels so guilty. It will be all about Todd and getting him well, but she will want the family to unite again. Can the Grimshaws ever be a happy family again? Eileen would like to think that they will be, but she has no idea of the resentment that Todd is now harbouring and what he might have up his sleeve. Todd could be more dangerous now than ever and no one will know! What advice would you give Eileen in this situation? You would just have to tell her to be there for her son.

I would tell her that she can’t blame herself, but she will always blame herself every time she looks at his scars. Can Todd ever change? This could possibly change him, but not necessarily for the better. The scars are on the outside but the damage on the inside is going to be much worse.

Eileen gets a call from one of Jason’s mates and the bombshell leaves Eileen so shaken that she needs to jet out to Thailand as soon as she can. As Eileen confides in Pat Phelan how worried she is about her son, might he use her distress to her advantage?

As Eileen and Phelan later fall out when he lashes out at Todd, she is even more upset as she finds her life falling apart. But as she gets into a state, Jason finally gets in touch and explains he had a fall while drunk and is in the hospital.

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, January 2 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV. Todd Grimshaw | Coronation Street Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Bruno Langley Todd James Grimshaw is the youngest son of Eileen Grimshaw and half-brother of Jason . The family moved to Coronation Street, Weatherfield , where Todd planned to sit his A-Levels, but ended up getting involved with teenage mum Sarah Platt . He later came out as gay, breaking Sarah's heart, and left the Street for university. Todd visited a couple of times, for his brother Jason's wedding to Sarah as best man, and visited at Easter 2011 with his rich boyfriend Jools Creme , where Todd became embarrassed by the Street he once lived on. He returned home in 2013 when he had lost his job as a law clerk and also got in debt with a previous partner. It was clear that Todd had developed a more ruthless streak since he had been away, and ended up causing the separation of gay man Marcus Dent from Maria Connor by having an affair with him and also succeeded in ruining the relationship of Jason and his girlfriend Eva Price .

Contents Biography 1985-2004: Coming out Todd was born in 1985 to Eileen Grimshaw and a man named Duncan. He has an older brother Jason and moved to Coronation Street in 2001 . He planned to sit his A-Levels, but instead fell for teenage Sarah Platt, who already had a young daughter, Bethany . Much to Eileen's dismay, Todd decided not to go to University and began a relationship with Sarah instead. Sarah fell pregnant with Todd's child, and her second and they even planned on getting married, but Todd began to question his own sexuality. He had feelings for Sarah's older brother Nick , and attempted to kiss him when Nick closed his eyes, which ended up startling him. Nick remained suspicious and told Sarah, but Todd managed to make up an excuse that it was just a drunken moment, which she accepted. But he began to develop feelings for a gay nurse Karl Foster , and they embarked in a relationship and slept with each other in Sarah's bed. Karl later left him when Todd refused to break up with Sarah, as Karl was just his bit on the side.

He later confesses to Sarah about his sexuality, which later causes her to go into a premature labour. She gives birth to their son, Billy , but he later died in hospital. This caused conflict between the Platts and the Grimshaws , particularly between Sarah's mother Gail , and Todd's mother Eileen who both actually had a row in the Street - the pair had to be separated. Todd returned back to his studies, and after catching Sarah in bed with his brother Jason , Todd ended up slapping Sarah (despite the fact he'd had the affair in the first place). After being offered a place at Oxford , he left Coronation Street. 2004-2013: Years away When Jason was due to marry Sarah in October 2007 , Todd received an invitation (which was actually sent by Sarah's scheming brother David ). He turned up for Jason's stag party and although everyone (especially Sarah and Gail) were shocked, they eventually all made up and Todd was Jason's best man at the wedding. While in London, Todd suffered major heartbreak when he got with a man named Sam who left his wife and children in order to build a relationship.

Sam was eventually diagnosed with HIV, and in turn blamed Todd and accused him of carrying the virus, which was untrue. Sam later returned to his family, leaving Todd heartbroken and bitter. This caused him to bring out a more darker and bitter side, as he then pushed any other man he got with away. This darker side became apparent during his return to Weatherfield in 2013 , although he didn't open up about the incident until a conversation with Billy Mayhew in September 2016 . In 2011 , Todd began dating his rich boyfriend Jools Creme , and went to visit Eileen on Easter Sunday but when they had a drink at the Rovers , Eileen started embarrassing Todd by becoming drunk and accidentally smashing a glass. Eileen apologised to Todd and who returned to London shortly afterwards. 2013-: Back home Todd contacted Eileen in November 2013 to say that he was coming home. A couple of days later he turned up, but it transpired that Todd had been in debt to a man named Alex Hughes who Todd borrowed money from for a holiday but did a runner. Eileen paid off Alex to leave.

By this point, Todd was also separated from Jools. Eileen got Todd a job working at Street Cars on the switch. During one of his shifts, Todd used the opportunity to do some moonlighting when taking a car without Lloyd Mullaney 's permission, but Todd made up an excuse that he had to move the car because it was blocking the road to a lorry. When Todd found out from Marcus Dent that Julie Carp 's boyfriend Brian Packham had taken a job in Wales despite Julie wanting to adopt children, he informed her, which ultimately led to the couple's separation. Todd ended up falling for Marcus Dent , who was in a relationship with Maria Connor . Todd tried to kiss Marcus, but was caught by Eileen. Todd later obtained Marcus's phone number and when he visited Marcus, they kissed and slept together. Marcus felt guilty about what he had done, but when they were about to sleep together again for the second time, they were caught by Maria and Audrey Roberts . Maria ended her and Marcus's relationship, for which Marcus blamed Todd and went to London to get away from him.

After the pair had been dating for some time, Todd admitted to Tony Stewart that he was only using Marcus and intended to end their relationship as soon as he'd got everything out of him that he could. When Marcus decided to go and visit Liam without informing Todd, he began playing the victim and accused Marcus in the Rovers of betraying him, going home "upset". When Marcus tried to make amends, Todd told him to leave. The next day Todd pretended to have a cold to get rid of Marcus, and went out with a friend instead. Todd had a fling with his friend and decided to split from a distraught and angry Marcus, who had later left Weatherfield. Todd got himself work at Jason's Builder's Yard working as a secretary. Acting on Tony's advice, Todd looked for ways to cut corners to save the business money and bought cheap wood to do a loft conversion for Tyrone Dobbs at 9 Coronation Street without informing Jason. When labourer Gary Windass (who Jason had taken on for the job) realised Todd's mistake, Todd threatened Gary with the sack unless he kept quiet, which Gary agreed to do. However this had major repercussions when Tyrone fell through the weak flooring.

His injuries meant that he couldn't work for a few weeks. Jason was angry with Todd at his deceit. When Tyrone and his partner Fiz Stape discovered the truth, they threatened to take Jason to court, which could have meant an end to his business. Todd attempted to redeem himself in front of his family, but to no avail. Although Jason and Tyrone would sort out of their differences, the Grimshaw family (along with most of the street) gave Todd the cold shoulder, and he was later thrown out of No.11. He attempted to reconcile with his family and make amends for his bad actions and took a job at Barlow's Buys as proprietors Rob Donovan and Tracy Barlow were planning their wedding and Jason's girlfriend Eva Price asked them to employ Todd. He managed to find a flat away from the street through a customer at the shop, although the Grimshaws weren't taken in by his efforts. After Rob was arrested for murder, Todd was sacked by an angry Tracy. He booked a table at Just Nick's and invited Eileen, Jason, Eva and Sean, however everyone failed to turn up. Leaving upset, Todd found himself cornered in a dark street by a gang.

Although he handed over his phone, Todd refused to give them his wallet, and in retaliation they gave him a severe beating. He was admitted to hospital after being discovered by a female passer-by. His family along and some other street residents felt guilty over Todd's attack, and he was taken back in at No.11, although he worried about permanent scarring after his face was messed-up in the attack. Although the injuries healed (apart from a minor scar under his eye), Todd plotted revenge against his family for the attack. In February 2015 , he succeeded in splitting Jason from Eva, making him believe she was having an affair with Tony (although they were actually trying to find a house for Eva and Jason as a surprise). Eva left for France to be with her grandmother , and no suspicion fell on Todd as he acted like the doting brother. After coaxing his mother into internet dating, Todd began posing as an admirer named Jeff in order to charm her, and was amused how she was taken-in by his ruse. During his little "game" Todd took revenge against Mary Taylor by reporting her motorhome after she refused to give credit at the Corner Shop .

Like in his previous schemes Todd was able to put on a mask and act like the concerned neighbour and initially supportive in Mary's decision to protest against the council when they wanted her to relocate the motorhome. Deciding to ruin his mother's relationship with Adrian Mortimer , Todd instead tempted Eileen with a "better" offer - with online messages as Jeff stating that he was arriving in England and arranged a meeting in Nick's Bistro . Eileen accepted "Jeff's" offer and decided not to inform Adrian that she was meeting someone else, relying on Todd to put Adrian off if he contacted her. However Todd arranged for Adrian to meet them in the bistro and humiliated his mother by revealing that he was indeed Jeff. Adrian left Eileen, feeling betrayed that she was more interested in another man. The incident led to Jason to punch Todd as it also came out that he was responsible for destroying his relationship with Eva. Back at No.11, Todd accused Eileen of always pushing him away, before packing a bag and moving out. Having alienated his family, Todd continued working at Barlow's Buys.

That was until September 2015 when Todd had learned that Jason was badly beaten up in the back ginnel, which was caused by nemesis Callum Logan whom was harassing the Platt family. Todd was upset he wasn't informed and later believed that Jason was in need for a kidney transplant after his brutal attack. Showing a more softer side, Todd went to the hospital (without informing any of his family first) and asked an employer about donating his kidney. He was relieved to discover Jason didn't need a kidney transplant. Eileen witnessed Todd's selfless act and forgave him, and allowed him to visit Jason in which the brothers made up and Todd began supporting his family. Along with Tony he and Todd keyed Callum's car which was parked outside No.8 and later stole it, unaware that David Platt was intending on using it to transport Callum's corpse after he was murdered moments prior by Kylie Platt after attempting to rape Sarah . Todd and Tony took the car to an industrial estate and burned it out and later returned to Coronation Street to attend Lloyd Mullaney and Andrea Beckett 's leaving party.

Background information In 2004 , Bruno Langley quit the role of Todd after playing the character for three years to pursue other roles. He however returned for two guest stints, once for a few weeks in 2007 as part of Jason's wedding to Sarah. Todd was introduced for a one-off appearance during an Easter Special which saw him with his new rich boyfriend Jools. In November 2013 the character returned full time. Todd was the first gay character in Coronation Street , and him kissing Nick Tilsley was said to be the first ever gay kiss on the show even though Nick was oblivious about it since he was asleep when it happened. The event reportedly received complaints. Quotes "Did somebody say fat? Oh, hi Dennis ." (First line) --- "Bon Voyage - idiot." (to half-brother Jason as he worked to split him up from Eva Price ) --- "Oh you stupid old bat" (to mother Eileen when she fell for "admirer" Jeff ) --- "You don't frighten me.

Coronation Street spoilers: Todd blames his family for vicious assault, reveals Bruno Langley Twitter Coronation Street spoilers: Todd blames his family for vicious assault, reveals Bruno Langley The actor reveals why Todd is furious with the Grimshaws following an attack that leaves him with horrific facial scars ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW By David Brown Sunday 2 November 2014 at 12:01AM Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) is to pay a heavy price for his family's snub when he's attacked by a gang of youths and left with severe facial injuries.

Scenes to be shown on Friday 7 November, will see Todd's mum Eileen (Sue Cleaver) back out of plans to go for dinner with her son after Jason (Ryan Thomas) warns her that he'll only break her heart again. But as a downbeat Todd walks alone in a darkened side street, he's set upon and mugged and lies battered until a passer-by calls an ambulance. Later, Eileen will be seen arriving at the hospital and becoming wracked with guilt for abandoning Todd. But will he accept her apology? Actor Bruno Langley reveals what happens in the wake of the vicious attack on his character: So how is Todd coping in the initial aftermath of the attack? He’s in total shock and he’s had a lot of painkillers, so he’s a bit out of it. In hospital, he’s drifting in and out and at the same time going back and forth in his mind between the events before he got mugged and then the actual attack itself. He’s feeling completely let down by his family and those feelings are instantaneous after the attack. What’s Todd’s reaction when he sees the full extent of his injuries in the mirror? Todd’s always taken care of himself and his appearance.

I think his reaction is how you would expect anyone’s to be, really. His initial thought is whether his face will ever be the same again, which is quite a human response to have. Mine would be the same. He asks the doctors whether he will ever look like him again. He feels really lonely in the hospital, so combine that with the anger and blame he has towards his family, along with these horrible injuries, it’s safe to say he’s in a bad place. He feels really sorry for himself. The doctor tells him he might be scarred for life. How does he react to that? Things like this take a while to settle in, don’t they? At that point, he’s still in a lot of pain and is on a lot of medication so he’s not himself. I don’t think it will sink in for him properly until he’s back at home and the reality of the situation will catch up on him. He will have to adjust a hell of a lot. Is Todd looking for someone to blame, and who does he take his frustration out on? He sees it as a chain of events.

If his family hadn’t have stood him up in the Bistro, then he wouldn’t have been mugged, then he wouldn’t be in hospital. That’s how he sees it - very black and white and he thinks the fault lies completely with his family and not himself. That’s not how I personally would regard it. I think karma has got a lot to do with it - but Todd certainly doesn’t think he has anything to feel guilty for. Even in the hospital you can see little snippets of Todd trying to make his mum and Jason feel bad. I don’t know how long that will go on for or whether he will ever resign himself to the fact that he has to take some responsibility too. How does he feel about Eileen and Jason at this point? Does he blame one of them more than the other? No, he blames everyone. Eileen, Jason, Eva, Julie, Tony. The thing is, Todd was genuinely trying to make it up to his family. He was trying to do a nice thing by arranging the meal at the Bistro so he could become a better person and make it up to them.

But the minute they don’t turn up, Todd changes direction again and he’s back where he was, if not even further away. This is a huge setback and it’ll be interesting to see where he goes from there. In the hospital he asks his family to leave. Why? He tells them he wants them to go, he wants to be on his own. He’s trying to deal with all these emotions of abandonment and feeling let down by them all. Todd thinks, 'well they’re all here now that this has happened, but where were they before when he was trying to redeem himself and make things right again?' He doesn’t really vocalise it. He has sly digs at people but it’s mainly bubbling under the surface at the minute. How does Todd feel about having to move back home? He hasn’t verbalised how he feels about that, but I know Todd resents the fact that he’s only been invited back into the family home because of what happened to him. That’s not a nice feeling to have. Had the attack not happened then he still wouldn’t have been welcome at home.

He knows they feel sorry for him and that’s not nice - he doesn’t know what to do with that, whether to put on a front or deal with it and move on. I think it’s worth noting that Jason and Eva take him back home, which is hard for him to bite, as Jason had more or less washed his hands of Todd before this happened. What did you think when you got told about this storyline? I was excited for it - it’s a challenge and it’s something different. I'm looking forward to seeing how this is going to change Todd and whether there’ll be another dimension to his character. I’m looking forward to the next chapter for him, and to see how this attack will now add to his make up as a person. He’s a multi-faceted character and you never know how he’s going to react or what he’ll do next.

Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.uk Friday 5 Jun 2015 9:31 pm (Picture: ITV) Oh, he’s a nasty piece of work, that Todd Grimshaw. Since the attack which left him with a scar minor facial mark, he has been enraged at his family, whom he blames for abandoning him on that night. His first revenge was splitting Eva from brother Jason after some sneaky manipulation. He then turned his attentions to mum Eileen, setting up a fake dating profile to sabotage her new romance with Adrian. As the nasty truth came out in the latest episode, Todd was left with a bloodied nose thanks to the anger of Jason. But while Eileen can never completely cut her son out of her life, viewers were infuriated on her behalf and took to Twitter to express their disgust at Todd’s antics. @itvcorrie omg how could you Todd?!! you evil little **it! poor Eileen :( — Melanie Bradley (@Bradley78Mel) June 5, 2015 Oh my god Todd ya wee bitch — David Bedwell (@DavidBedwell) June 5, 2015 i HATE todd so much!

i want to scream at my tv @itvcorrie 😣😡🔪🔫 — kell brogan (@kelbrogan_x) June 5, 2015 Been wanting to punch Todd on Carrie for ages so thank you Jason #corrie #CoronationStreet — TOO LOW TERRAIN (@VickyMUFC6) June 5, 2015 Pretty unanimous verdict then? But what’s coming next in the saga? If you keep up with Metro’s soap gossip (and well you should!) then you will have seen our preview of Eileen and Michael seeking comfort with each other . That will open yet another can of worms after Michael suffers a heart attack. As for Jason, his realisation that his relationship was deliberately ruined will set him on a path to trying to win Eva back. We know that Catherine Tyldesley is set to return in the coming weeks. (Picture: ITV) But just because Eva is back, it doesn’t mean the road ahead will be smooth for Jason. Can Eva forgive him for doubting her? And don’t expect that this is the last we have seen of Todd either. Something tells us he’ll be back before long and ready to unleash more mayhem.

Get that Twitter hate ready! More
